Sony Xperia Z5 CM13 Marshmallow ROM

Xperia Z5 CM13 (codename: sumire) is a CyanogenMod custom ROM based on Android 6.0.1 built by developer CTXz. This is a development ROM and not a daily usable build. Please proceed if you understand what am I talking of, otherwise don’t blame me if something goes wrong.

WARNING:
Installing custom ROM requires a custom recovery to be installed on your device, which may VOID your warranty and may delete all your data. Before proceeding further you may consider backup your all data. You are the only person doing changes to your phone and I cannot be held responsible for the mistakes done by you.

Copy the ROM and GApps zip file to your phone (By using a USB cable or via adb push command).

STEP 2:

Enter into recovery mode by pressing your device specific key combinations.
Or else if you are on a pc with USB driver and adb installed, then type the following command:

$ adb reboot recovery

STEP 3:

Wipe system partition, cache and data partition. [IMPORTANT]

STEP 4:

Select the Install Zip from SDcard option.
Select the Android Marshmallow ROM zip file for Sony Xperia Z5 and let the installation complete and then reboot and then flash the GApps package and reboot to enjoy CyanogenMod 13 on the Sony Xperia Z5 (codename: Sumire).
